Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : Milk Production

The correct answer is Milk Production.

 

• Operation Flood was launched on 13 January 1970 and it was the world's largest dairy development program.
• It was a project of India's National Dairy Development Board (NDDB).
• India was transformed from being a milk-deficient nation to one of the largest milk-producing nations in the world.

​

• Within 30 years, it was able to double the milk available per person in India and made dairy farming India's largest self-sustainable rural employment generator.
•  It was launched to help farmers direct their own development and giving them control of the resources they create.
• The process has been called the white revolution as it was achieved by production by masses not just by mass production.
